Chandigarh Metro: Punjab and Haryana suggest minor changes, give final nod
A meeting chaired by Dharam Pal, the adviser to the Chandigarh administrator, discussed changes suggested by Punjab and Haryana governments to the comprehensive mobility plan (CMP) Wednesday, a month after the metro rail project for the Tricity area got in-principle approval.
Punjab principal secretary (housing and urban development) Punjab suggested including a new Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) route connecting NH-64/PR-7 Junction to Rajpura in MRTS phase-II.
He suggested including MRTS routes from Paroul, New Chandigarh, to Sarangpur, Chandigarh, in Phase-I. The Punjab government also furnished comments regarding the CMP to the Chandigarh administration, which have been examined and incorporated in the final CMP report.
